Knorr-Bremse will Modernise SJ High-Speed Fleet

The trains were first introduced in 1990, and the operator SJ launched a modernisation programme in early 2014, costing Skr3.5bn. Under the new deal this year, SJ has commissioned Knorr-Vremise’s service subsidiary Swedtrac RailService to carry out an interior and exterior modernisation of 227 cars.

The deal will see Swedtrac equip the trains with new seat, floor, wall and ceiling coverings, and new internal doors, galleys, and toilets. The vehicles will also receive a new, updated external livery.
